""We are waiting for Mats Sundin's decision. I believe if he says yes, it's going to be a Mats Sundin/John Chayka combination," Friedman said."
""I'm told from a pretty good source that that's the direction they're headed into. When you're dealing with a legendary figure like Mats Sundin, they are going to bring him in, talk to him, and if he wants to work there, I don't see how you turn your back and just say, ok we did the interviews," Strickland said."
""He knows the market. I mean, if you are looking to hire somebody who's going to spike the market, create some instant buzz, then he certainly would be a figure who could do that," Strickland added."
""I just think the timing isn't right for Doug Armstrong. I do think there's a chance that he manages again one day in the NHL," Strickland noted."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are nearing a decision on hiring Mats Sundin for a significant position within the organization, possibly in collaboration with John Chayka. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman confirmed that the team is awaiting Sundin's response. Andy Strickland indicated that bringing in a legendary figure like Sundin could generate excitement and market interest. Although Doug Armstrong's name surfaced after the firing of Brad Treliving, Strickland believes the timing is not right for Armstrong to join the Maple Leafs.
